A great effort by Whats Up Woody to finish 3rd in a 14k class 3 handicap chase at sunny Kelso on ladies day and more racecourse experience for the youngster Bannow Storm who ran on to take third place in the bumper. She was outpaced up the home straight by a couple of sharper types and this staying type travelled well and will be seen to better effect over further.

Whats Up Woody ran a fine race at Kelso yesterday to finish 2nd having a great battle all the way round the Kelso 3m 2f course jumping well.Woody was just run out of it in the closing stages by the returning to form Scotswell.
The two front runners had the rest of the field out on their feet from a long way home in what was a proper test of stamina.
The newcomer Warden Law looked very well but still on the babyish side in preliminaries compared to the rest of this strong bumper field and after a disappointing racecourse debut it is back to the drawing board with this one who looks like he will need more time.
